Amazon Web Services Regions that support Storage Gateway

An Amazon Web Services Region is a physical location in the world where Amazon has multiple Availability Zones. Availability Zones consist of one or more discrete Amazon data centers, each with redundant power, networking, and connectivity, housed in separate facilities. This means that each Amazon Web Services Region is physically isolated and independent of the other Regions. Regions provide fault tolerance, stability, and resilience, and can also reduce latency. The resources that you create in one Region do not exist in any other Region unless you explicitly use a replication feature offered by an Amazon service. For example, Amazon S3 and Amazon EC2 support cross-Region replication. Some services, such as Amazon Identity and Access Management, do not have Regional resources. You can launch Amazon resources in locations that meet your business requirements. For example, you might want to launch Amazon EC2 instances to host your Amazon Storage Gateway appliances in an Amazon Web Services Region in Europe to be closer to your European users, or to meet legal requirements. Your Amazon Web Services account determines which of the Regions supported by a specific service are available for you to use.
